ST LOUIS. April 5-The new indianapolis as
pirant for League honors to-day added big
feather to its cap by defeating the champion
Brown Stockings The game was one that would
have been thoroughly enjoyable but for the dis
gushing wind which crept through the grand
stand from the north and seemed TO be fresh
from the arctcs. The visitors deserved the
game. and probably no one in the crowd be-
Grudged victory to the lads who struggled so
ing this city. and who have now been transferred
to new field where new life and new luck
ought to follow them. Nearly all the old Ma
rooms faces were the-e-Glasscock, Denny,
Boyle, Seery, Quinn, CaLill. Each one was rec
ognized by applause the first time he stepped to
the bat Seery responded most vigorously, in
asmuch as he lined the ball over the rieht-field
fence for home run-precisely the same trick.
by the way, he played on Foutz one year ago. on
tAe occasion of the opening contest between the
Browns and Maroons. The victory was due
Dolely to the fine work of their infeld, as
The Browns outbatted them and ran bases

couple of his customary catches-one of them
being ball that no other player in the profess
